BANKS GROW IN NUMBERS AND IN DEPOSITS, ! } ------ : | But, When the Details are Looked { Into Matters are Not so Satis © factory as Expected. Postoffice savings banks have In. creased in Canadas from 81. jn 1868 to { 1,138 in 1910. Duripg the same per- icd, the Jeguaite have grown from a comparatively small amount 40 the im. mense total of forty-three million do!- lars, of which one-half is in the old Government savings banks, and one- half in the pos savings banks proper. This seems satisfactory antl} the details are examined. The feature to be noted is that the annual deposits are steadily d-- clining. In the year 1908, the people deposited twelve million dollars in the postoffice savings banks proper. In 1909, they deposited only nine and a halt millions, and in 1910 a little leis thay pine millions. « In other words the annuat savings of the people, as shiown by the deposits made with the | postoffice have shown a remarkable decline. Is this due to a period of extrav, , or to a decline in the | popularity of the postal banks? {/ In the second place, this unfavor. able situation is rendered worse by the fact that the withdrawals ex the deposits. In 1908, the people drew ous $1,500,000 more than they deposited. In 1909, they drew out $3,700,000 more than they put in. In 1910, the with- 'yawals exceeded the de ts by ap- proximately three million dollars. This 1s a situation which calls for examis- ple. are getting careless, or thers 3 something "in connection with the postoffice savings banks which "re- Quires a remedy. --Canadian Courier. - -------------- A Brief For the Hindus, In The Victoria Daily Times Walter W. Baer recently had a long article on the Hindus in Canada, which has been widely quoted, The Literary Digest quotes Mr. Baer as follows: 2 "The Hindu is a monogamist by tra. dition and practice; as faithfully so as the Anglo-Saxon. Yet he is not per- mitted to bring his wife to this coun- try, and no female child of his may come near enough to smile into hjs eyes. He must move among the sights and hear the happy domestic songs «f those for whom he labors, but .he must be allowed only to think of those who are equally dear to him and &s much a part of his own life a8 are our lo ones of ours. He must not be guilty of an overt look, much 'less an overt act. Not many Europeans could stand the strain of similar conditions." ny - First Statue of the King. A colossal bronze statue of King George V., the work of Mr. Arthur Rogers, a well-known Manchester sculptor, has Just been exposed to the view of the visitors at the Festival of Empire, Crystal Palace, and the un- veiling will take place very shortly. The statue is the only one of His Majesty Jo completed. Tt occupies a comman Empire avenue, which is 'the main roadway through the exhibition. The 1 King is represented standing in his coronation robes, the figure measuring 16 feet, while from the foot of the ranite' stand the statue stands 41 eet high. < Ancient Marble Canopy Unearthed. During excavations at Winchester Cathedral a piecg of carved marble weighting thirteen hundredweight has béen unearthed six feet below the sur. face. On examination -it was found that the piece of marble, which is earved in the early English style, was the missing canopy of the monument to. Bishop Ethelmar de Valence, half brother of Henry VII, 'who died in | exile in France and whose heart was by his desire buried in the ecathedra: in 1260. The canopy had been missing for centuries. It is now proposed to restore the monument, using the can- pr which has been found. --London ail. Laurier and Bourassa. In the fall of 1805 Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier personally imtroduced Mr. Henri Bourassa as the Liberal candidate for Labelle County, Quebec, and made-a number of speeches in -the riding in order to give his young friend a good send-off. In August. 1907, Mr. Bour- assa, then a member of the House of Commons, atlempled to denounce Sir Wilfr'd in the lattes own Quebec constituency. On that memorable oc- casion accompanied by Mr, Armand, Lave , he sta to speak from a latiorm on the Jacques Cartier Mar.' et square, St. Roche. A great crowd assembled, refused Bourassa a hear. ing, pelted him with stones, and rais- ed a great disturbance in the neigh: borhood until far into the night.

Tn these days, of positive assertion {and flat confradiction od the 2 of those who patiently search the re- motest corners of our being for latent signs that they may tell us what ws must do to be saved for a long and | comparatively painless life, so mang i conflicting theoriés have ad- { vanced that men are at a loss as to: the safest course to purvue." For instance, we have been told that tobacco, alcohol, meat and our "wear and tear" system of rapid living were! all "liteshorteners as well as pain- producers." Now comes a learned man-whe, in effeet, says Bosh! Of course, anyone could say thas, but! ? Dr. Mare Armand. Ruffer, the Egyp- | tian resentative of the Interna. tional' Bureau ohJHygiene, Paris, and president of the Sanitary Council of Egypt, backs up his statement with some pretty good ppoof. : Dr. Ruffer has been holding antop- sies on very ancient mummies, dis. | secting the well preserved remains of. | Egyptiag = rulers, princes and day | laborers who lived, toiled and died thousands of years ago and examin. ing their arteries to see if he could find any traces of the wasting dis. eases and bodily decay which other! tecientists have always supposed were of quite modern origin due =to the wear and tear &f the strenuous con- ditions under which we of to-day live. Most interesting, especially to those who believe in the use of tcbacoo and | wines in moderation, Dr. Ruffer has | found that the nerves and general | physical condition of modern man ! iving under modern conditions are not~a bit worse than were those of the----ancient - Egyptian, who didn't know anything about tobacco and consequently. didn't ind Accord. ing to the report of Dr. Ruffer, pre- pared for the Journal of Pathology, and Bacteriology, he has learned enough from his examination of Egyp- tian mummies to dispose of many conflicting theories regarding arteri~ osclerogis and allied arterial degener. ations. These wasting diseases, which have been regarded as of modern ori-"| gin, has been held up as pathological | "horrible examples" by anti-tobac- | conists, total abstainers, diet faddists | of various kihds, contemners of ath, | letics and of the wear and tear of | modern life. ' Dr. Ruffer is satisfied beyond any doubt that "'thee old Eqyplians suf. fered as much as we do now from | arterial lesions identical with those found at present. Moreover, when | we consider that few of the. arteries | were quite healthy, it would appear | 'that such lesions were as frequent | 3,000 years ago as they ave to-day." Ax to causation, Dr. Ruffer consid ers that tobacco can certainly be | eliminated, as this drug was not used in ancient t. While alco: | holic beverages p ajed a part of | Egyptian, social life, Dr. Ruffer holds that it is clear that the ptians, as: | a race, are not, and never have been,' | habitual drunkards. "Mereover, Dr, | Ruffer has found the disease just as, | common in over 800 post-mortems of. | Mussulmans who had certainly never | touched aleohol in 'their lives. This | fact has led him to call in question' | the importance of aléohol as a cause | of arterial disease. Meat is something of a luxury in Egypt, and Dr. Ruffér's experience in Egypt and the east has .ot strength- ened the opinion that meat eating is a cause of arterial disease. - Finally, he holds that strenuous muscular ex- ercise can be excluded as a cause, for there is no evidence that ancient Egyptians . were greatly addicted to athletic sports, though they liked watching professional acrobats and dancers. : the Icebergs. : The gréat breeding place of icebergs is western Greenland. The mountain. ous belt of Greenland is everywhere penetrated by deep arms of the sea, which reach to the inland ice and are terminated by perpendicular walls of huge glaciers. All of these glaciers are making their way to the ocean, and as. their ends are forced out into the water they are broken off and set adrift as bergs.- The sizes of the pieces thus broken off vary, but a berg 200 to 250 feet in height and whose length may be from 300 to 500 yards is con- sidered to be of ordinary size in the Arctic. The volume is, of course, les- sened as the berg gets farther south. » Careful Child.
